We didn't intend to stay here but got bumped out of our convention's hotel, and felt like we won the lottery. Only 1/2 mile from the convention center (barely) and our kitchen/living room was the size of the room we "didn't get". Every staff person we met spoke and made us feel at home. Add a little cheese to those breakfast eggs and it's almost like home. The Manager's social had an amazing selection of pour-it-yourself wines and beer, and it's not uncomfortable to sit down there and enjoy even if you're alone. It doesn't happen every night so enjoy when you can. We stayed Tuesday to Sunday. Easy in and out from the streets, traffic fairly light and quick access to restaurants and the historic downtown area. Leave, drive, park and in the convention center in 5 minutes. Also felt very safe coming in when our events ran late into the night.

Room Tip: We were on 3rd floor. Don't be in a hurry for the elevator.

All staff members are over the top friendly and helpful. I must give a special thank you to LANA MURPHY, General Manager, for making our stay very comfortable. Breakfast was above average compared to other hotels I have recently stayed at. Monday - Thursday the hotel provides a Manager's Social with beer, wine and snacks.My daughter and I stayed 2 days. My only negative remarks are that we had to change rooms after the first night. Something in our first floor room made my daughter very itchy. She is allergic to cats and thought that may have been the case. House staff told me that the hotel does allow pets on the first floor. Also the first floor had over head noise. Moved to a 3rd floor room and everything was perfect. Rooms are clean and beds are very comfortable. Did not use the pool or workout room so I have no comment on either of those hotel amenities. FYI there was an occasional train that went by on a near by railroad track early in the morningHotel is located near great restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: Request a room on the 3rd floor unless you travel with a pet.

Nice hotel, helpful and polite staff. Downtown Waco. Walking distance to restaurants, Dr. Pepper Museum, near Indian Spring Park, the Brazos River/Trails, and historic suspension bridge. Hotel has free parking, indoor pool, onsite snack bar. Surroundings were quiet except for the occasional rumble of the train which was actually quite nice to hear. We walked across the street on Saturday morning to visit the farmer's market before heading out to the Mayborn Museum on the Baylor campus.

This is a clean, well kept hotel with larger rooms and a great staff. It is very convenient to the Baylor campus. The breakfast bar is pretty good as far as free hotel breakfast bars go. I liked that they had real oatmeal instead of the instant I often find at similar hotels. The best part of this hotel however is the very friendly engaging staff. Every single staff member goes out of their way to great you and let you know they will do anything they can to make your stay more pleasant. My daughter is a freshman at Baylor and I plan on staying at his great property many more times over the next four years.

We chose the Marriott Residence Inn because we thought we were going to have an additional party stay with us, but we ended up with it to ourselves. The room(s) were very nice, especially the kitchenette and the bathrooms. My wife liked that the toilet and shower were separated from the vanity. The suite was spacious. The property was well kept and the staff was very attentive and friendly. The breakfast was ok, one of the these days someone is going to invent a better mechanism to make motel eggs and sausages. If you are planning to stay for several days or more highly recommend it. Will be a great place to stay for Baylor's new football stadium.

Four years ago, I posted a TripAdvisor review that said "We'll be back!" and we have. Residence Inn continues to be our favorite hotel in Waco, whether we're visiting relatives or attending events at Baylor University. We stayed here again on a recent family road trip and were delighted with the two-bedroom suite. I had requested a crib when I made the reservations six weeks earlier, and this was the only hotel on the trip that had the crib, crib sheet and blanket in the room when we checked in without me having to remind them of the request. This seems like a small thing, but it is indicative of the extra TLC the staff gives to all of their guests. If I had to make one critical comment, it would be that the evening refreshments are not as nice as some of the other Residence Inns we have stayed at, but since we cooked in the room anyway, this was not a big deal to us.
